I mean, when talking about battery life: the Switch 2 is shorter whilst the OLED has it last longer. The thing is, there are games I want to play that are exclusive to Switch 2 (like HW: Age of Imprisonment or DK Banaza), I do have a ToTK special edition OLED switch though. The only difference is performance (as it’s 1080p handheld supporting up to 4K at 120 fps).
They are increasing the console price worldwide, it’s ¥49,980 ($309 / 270€) as of now but later it’ll become ¥59,980 ($371 / 324€), so should I purchase it? Also the console will become $500 / 500€ (for now it remains at $450 / 470€) I’ve heard that a new variant is releasing in 2027 with a portable battery, even then is the console still worth purchasing?
I love my Switch 2, I play it every day. Personally I feel like it was well worth it. The physical system itself is improved in nearly every way. It’s significantly more confortable to hold. I know a lot of people are upset about no OLED, but honestly I haven’t had any issues with the screen. Switch 2 editions run so much better than an original Switch, it’s night and day. I’ve never really had an issue with battery life. Although there is a good point to be made about waiting for the one with a removable battery. I think it really depends on wether or not the exclusives are worth it to you. Starfox, DK Bananza, Pokopia, and HW: Age of Imprisonment are all really great if you are interested. Another good thing to keep in mind is that so far Nintendo has committed to releasing their first party games fully on a physical cart. Given the current state of the industry, that’s a huge plus for me. Pokopia is the only Nintendo game key card, but that one wasn’t entirely in their control. If you have the money and want one, I say get one.
